Unknown mimetype MFMailComposerViewController - mime-types

In my application a document file is downloading from the server and it is attaching to the MFMailcomposeViewOntroller but the document may be .pdf/.doc/.docx/.txt/.excel etc
my problem is how to set the attachment mime ttype im mailcomposer?
Apple doc sayes mime type must not be nil
How can I solve this

Take a look at the class reference for the MFMailComposerViewController, especially the method addAttachmentData:mimeType:fileName:.
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/MessageUI/Reference/MFMailComposeViewController_class/Reference/Reference.html
Check this post on how to get the mime type based on the extension of a file: How Can I get Mime Type in IOS which is not based on extension

REACT PDF: Cannot use the packages to show static PDF file

I am trying to show a static pdf in React app. I have tried a lot of packages:
react-pdf
react-pdf-js
react-pdf-js-infinite
simple-react-pdf
pdfjs-dist
react-pdf-pages
They often say that we can use the URL, or pdf file for the props for the PDF component easily, but I cannot use either.
I had two main errors.
As I want to use myPDF for the props for the component, I write this:
import myPDF from 'path/to/pdf_file';
then, render_some_component pdf:{myPDF}
Here is the error:
ModuleParseError in
Module parse failed: Unexpected token (1:0)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.
(Source code omitted for this binary file)
(When I comment that line, this kind of error disappears)
I used the file-loader in webpack config, I have tried many different ways but failed.
I use the pdf file directly for the props like this:
render_some_component pdf:{'path/to/pdf_file'}
In the Console:
Warning: Setting up fake worker.
11:23:55.962 pdf.worker.js:349 Warning: Ignoring invalid character "33" in hex string
11:23:55.963 pdf.worker.js:349 Warning: Ignoring invalid character "79" in hex string
...
There are a lot of 'Ignoring invalid character' like that and it always ends with:
localhost/:1 Uncaught (in promise) InvalidPDFException {name: "InvalidPDFException", message: "Invalid PDF structure"}
In the Network, Headers, I see:
Request URL:http://localhost:3000/myPdfFile.pdf
Request Method:GET
Status Code:200 OK
Remote Address:127.0.0.1:3000
but In the Network, Response, I see just the HTML layout.
I think the pdf file is loaded correctly but the package cannot recognize its PDF structure.
Except that two main errors, I had another error related to the Worker used in the packages but I don't know how to fix it:
Uncaught DOMException: Failed to construct 'Worker'
(This is something relates to Chrome as people say Chrome does not allow Worker in the local server)
Any help is highly appreciated as I am stuck in this in 4 days already.
Can you pleas clarify what you main task is?
If I understood it right you want to display a PDF file that already exists in a part of your application? You don't want to create a new PDF with JavaScript.
If you want to just show a PDF have you tried to use iframe?
Something like this:
<iframe
title="file"
style={{ width: '100%', height: '100%' }}
src={downloadURL}
/>
You ca use here also relative paths to the file from the location where your Component is or use full URLs to the file.

Image upload AngularJs to Rails4 API

I have an angularJs app that sends a base64 encoded image (or file) to my rails4 server api that uses paperclip to store attachments. Everything works fine until the content_type_validation paperclip does.
For some reason, paperclip determines the content-type's been spoofed and get the following error message:
[paperclip] Content Type Spoof: Filename 1413325092.jpg (["image/jpeg"]), content type discovered from file command: application/octet-stream; charset=binary. See documentation to allow this combination.
I create the paperclip attachment with the following code:
def self.create_from_base64(base64_string)
decoded_data = Base64.decode64(base64_string)
# create 'file' understandable by Paperclip
data = StringIO.new(decoded_data)
data.class_eval do
attr_accessor :content_type, :original_filename
end
# set file properties
data.content_type = 'application/octet-stream'
data.original_filename = "#{Time.now.to_i}.jpg"
end
I've tried different things but for some reason even when I set data.content_type = 'application/octet-stream', the error is exactly the same, and paperclip it's been spoofed.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
EDIT:
I have the following validation:
validates_attachment_content_type :file, :content_type => [/png\Z/, /jpe?g\Z/, /application\/octet-stream*/]

Google App Engine and ttf font not working

I've got a small problem where google app engine is complaining about my ttf file. This is what it says:
Could not guess mimetype for css/fonts/Pacifico.ttf. Using application/octet-stream.
Now I've followed this link and changed my yaml file appropriately (or so I think):
- url: /css/fonts/(.*\.ttf)
static_files: css/fonts/\1
upload: css/fonts/(.*\.ttf)
mime_type: application/x-font-ttf
But when I do this i get the following:
appcfg.py: error: Error parsing C:\Users\Roberto\Desktop\bootstrap\app.yaml: mapping values are not allowed here
in "C:\Users\Roberto\Desktop\bootstrap\app.yaml", line 25, column 17.
2014-01-16 23:22:16 (Process exited with code 2)
Any help in this matter?
I have done a test with glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf from the Bootstrap project with the same app.yaml handler that you use (save for the indentation change as per the comments) and can verify that it works as expected:
This leads me to believe that you may using an older version of the GAE SDK (I use 1.8.8) or something else is wrong with your installation.
You can try this: appcfg.py uses python's mimetypes module to guess the type from the file extension so in any case, you should be able to solve the issue by adding the application/x-font-ttf mime type to your OS.
You're on Windows so you need to edit your registry and add a application/x-font-ttf key to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type and add a string value called Extension with the value .ttf under the new key.
Extended procedure for adding the mimetype to Windows
Open the registry editor: Hit Winkey + R and type regedit, hit Enter
Navigate through the registry to the desired location: open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, inside it open MIME, inside that open Database and inside that open Content Type. It's like a folder structure.
Right click on Content Type and select New > Key, give it the name application/x-font-ttf.
Right click on the key you just created and select New > String Value. give it the name Extension.
Double click on the value you just created and assign it the Value data .ttf, hit OK.
Exit regedit and you're done!
Final none: I don't think it can be anything to do with the file itself, because the mimetypes module uses only the file extension to work out the MIME type. Unless there is some crazy unprintable character in the filename. You could try using the glyphicons-halflings-regular font I linked to to eliminate this possibility.

Android: MediaScanner marks 3gp file with video/mp4 mimetype

I just noticed that MediaScanner marks 3gp file with video/mp4. I've searched about it in Google and found this link. It is written there that,
"The video camera marks videos that it creates with mime type
video/3gpp. This is the actual correct mime type for 3gp video.
The media scanner marks 3gp videos with the mime type video/mp4. It
could be argued that the media scanner should use the more specific
mime type of video/3gp, but technically 3gp is a kind of mp4, so it's
not exactly incorrect to use video/mp4."
If you notice the date it was posted is 2009-03-26. When I checked it again on Android 2.3.4 it is still the same. Is there any plan of having a more specific mimetype for 3gp in the future?
Thanks,
artsylar
We've just edited the MPEG4Extractor.cpp to set the mimetype of 3gp files to audio/3gpp or video/3gpp instead of audio/mp4 or video/mp4.

FreeRadius dictionary loading

I'm trying to load a dictionary that comes in with Debian Squeeze. Unfortunately radius-client library fails on some included file with:
rc_read_dictionary: unknown Vendor-Id encrypt=1 on line 7 of dictionary /usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.compat
The line is
ATTRIBUTE Password 2 string encrypt=1
Freeradius is installed from the package, so I assume this should work just fine... What could be the problem here?
Late answer, but it still might help others, I got bit by a related issue.
You're getting that error because you're trying to use a dictionary file designed for the FreeRADIUS server. The client library "freeradius-client" is not 100% compatible with that format. Specifically, in your case, it cannot handle the encrypt=1 property of the attribute.
The reason for the complaint about an unknown Vendor-Id is another incompatibility between FreeRADIUS server and the freeradius-client library. FreeRADIUS server expects dictionary files with vendor specific attributes (VSAs) like the following:
VENDOR Cisco 9
BEGIN-VENDOR Cisco
ATTRIBUTE Cisco-AVPair 1 string
ATTRIBUTE Cisco-NAS-Port 2 string
...
END-VENDOR Cisco
The freeradius-client library however can only parse VSAs in the following form:
VENDOR Cisco 9
ATTRIBUTE Cisco-AVPair 1 string vendor=Cisco
ATTRIBUTE Cisco-NAS-Port 2 string vendor=Cisco
The above is true for FreeRADIUS server v2.1.x and freeradius-client v1.1.6.
